Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

With high levels of magical talent and capability in a constant deadlock, and no way to stop either side seen in the near future, the fate of the magical world rests entirely in the hands of the people within it.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is a British wizarding boarding school teaching the magical arts, located in Scotland inside Hogwarts Castle. The castle has extensive grounds with sloping lawns, flowerbeds and vegetable patches, a loch (called the Black Lake), a large dense forest (called the Forbidden Forest), several greenhouses and other outbuildings, and a full-size Quidditch Pitch. There is also an owlery, which houses all the owls owned by the school and those owned by students.

The three highest towers are the Astronomy Tower, the Ravenclaw Tower, and the Gryffindor Tower. There are 142 staircases, which are known to move, in the massive castle, which is set upon huge rocks above a magnificent lake. The castle is known for its many updates and changes in layout throughout the years, such as regenerating itself after the Battle of Hogwarts.

The school has numerous charms and spells on and around it that make it impossible for a Muggle to locate it. Such people cannot see the school; rather, they see only ruins and several warnings of danger. Witches and wizards cannot Apparate or Disapparate in Hogwarts grounds, except when the Headmaster lifts the enchantment, whether only in certain areas or for the entire campus, so as to make the school less vulnerable when it serves the headmaster to allow Apparition. Electricity and electronic devices are not found at Hogwarts. Hermione Granger indicates that due to the high levels of magic, substitutes for magic used by Muggles, such as computers, radar and electricity "go haywire" around Hogwarts. Radios, however, make an exception. J.K Rowling explains this by saying that the radios are not powered by electricity, but by magic.

Now the future is YOU. What will happen now Lord Voldemort has been defeated? Is there a new dark wizard on the rise?





Rules
-No godmodding, controlling other characters etc
-GM might do time skips every now and then, only to move on the plot
-Please post all character sheets ready for acceptance here in the OOC first and then post it again in the Character tab once accepted, just so it keeps tidy. Add 'Why am I amazing?' to your CS if you read the rules.
-For now, I'm only going to allow three descendants of original Harry Potter characters. They must be at least grandchildren, no closer related. You can reserve a character if you'd like, I'll allow it as long as you post the CS soon enough after.
-Just in case it gets taken, tell me if you want to reserve a Quidditch player! And remember, we also need Quidditch Captains!
-Have fun, no arguments, be nice!

Why am I amazing, you might ask? Btw, I hope David being extremely rich doesn't qualify as godmodding :)

David is taking Transfiguration, Defence, Charms, Alchemy, Ancient Runes and Potions.

Name: Felicia "Fel" Mera
Appearance: Felicia has a small stature and skinny body. Her skin is pale and her eyes are electric blue, rimmed with long, dark eyelashes. She always wears longer clothes, preferring to cover more of her skin. Her hair is bright red, going down to her knees, perfectly straight.
Age: 12
Year: 2

House: Slytherin
Classes Taken: N/A
Short bio: Felicia was born into an odd family. A family of crime, in a way. Her parents were criminals, not terrible criminals, but they were con artists. They swimdled and stole, raising Felocia. So Felicia learned skills that no one would expect a twelve year old to know. She learned how to fake an identity, how to gain sympathy. And then she got the letter. Her parents were dumb-founded. They were both muggles.
Personality: Felicia's personality can change at the drop of a hat. She changes it to what it needs to be. However, most of the times it's that of a strong willed, independent young girl. Alone, on the other hand, Felicia is cold hearted. Not cruel, just cold. She ignores and doesn't try to talk to others.

Wand: 13 inches, Cherry, Unicorn Hair
Patronus: Snake
Hobbies:Con-ing
Pets:Black Kitten, named Lero
Personal possessions: School Books, Robes, Rubix Cube, Books on Muggle Laws and Crime, Phycology books, a few cans of MACE ((well hidden))

Relationships:
NPCs: Marriane Low, Felicia's 'best friend', a Slytherin with a gentle heart, determination, and the will to pester Felicia to no end.

Other: Felicia has a tattoo on her back, she has never shown it to anyone, it takes up most of her back.


Why am I so awesome?

Oh gods, why am I amazing?

Name: Nicholas 'Nick' Gregory Hornhill

Appearance:


Age: 17

Year: 6th year

House: Gryffindor

Classes Taken:
  • Transfiguration
  • Potions
  • Charms
  • Defense Against the Dark Arts
  • Alchemy
  • Herbology
  • Astronomy


Short bio: Born in a muggle family of doctors, Nick was the first to receive his Hogwarts Acceptance Letter. It all came as a shock knowing that there hasnt been the slightest indication of magic in his family at any point in time. His father thought it was absurd and didnt approved of it a single bit. Nick also thought it was absurd at first, but felt incredibly curious to see for himself what this Hogwart's school really is. So with annoying persistence, he finally convinced his father to send him to the said school, and was really glad that he did.

Personality: Firm in his decisions and can be quite persistent. Once he set his mind into something he will not stop at nothing to make it come true no matter how crazy and reckless it is. Nick is quite inquisitive, and always snooping that has definitely gotten him into all kinds of tight situations just because he has the will to meddle in things he shouldnt be meddling with.

Wand: Alder wood, 13 inches with Unicorn Hair core, bendy.

Patronus: A stallion.

Hobbies: The most notable hobby he has is playing Quidditch, and he's good at it too. He plays as the Gryffindor's Keeper for 3 consecutive years already along with several of his friends. Though he once played in a soccer team before he got to Hogwarts, but his interest in the said muggle sport was short lived. Nick also fared well in potions and Transfiguration compared to any of his other subjects.

Pets: A tabby cat called Mr. Periwinkle.

Personal possessions: A silver locket encrusted with several irregular shaped red stones. Although the trinket was as normal as any locket could be, but what makes it special was the tiny stone inside it, even finer than the ones outside, that Nick believes has a magical property of some sort (though never proven), and for a very good reason, because he bought it on one of his rare trips to Knockturn Alley. He wears it all the time. Oh and he got his broom, a later edition of Firebolt but way much better than its predecessors nonetheless.

Relationships: Damian 'Ian' Jackdaw - he is Nick's partner in crime, where most of the time it was Nick committing the crime and Ian the one getting them out of it. If not for Damian, Nick could've been kicked out of school a long time ago. If not for him, there's no one to look out for teachers when they try to sneak out of school during off hours, no one to cover for him when he smuggles forbidden merch from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, no one to tell him if the prank he's about to pull was too much or too dull and needs to step it up a bit, and no one else in the entire school who can actually put up with all his crazies and actually carry it out with him. Its safe to say that Ian is the closest thing he can call as a 'best friend'.
[still open for other relationship:)]

Accepted! But seriously, weird patronus! Move your CS to the characters tab when you want to.

@BlackCat

Ok, that's cool. You can move your CS to the characters tab. I like the tattoo, did you draw it yourself?

@Travesty

A bendy wand? I want one! A few tweaks and it will be accepted. I'd like to know that you read the rules, and you haven't put what classes Nicholas takes! Oh, and for further reference, you spell your house Gryffindor. :)

@Tip

It's a sort of nod/easter egg to the HPMOR fanfic.

There, there is a plot point about animal patronuses being incomplete forms of the True Patronus. Animal patronuses are maintained with happy thoughts, which basically defeat the dementors, Death anthropomorphized, by making their casters fearless in the face of death (animals are not aware of death in the abstract, which is why dementors don't drain them). The True Patronus, on the other hand, is maintained with ambition, the will to actually fight Death itself and reach immortality rather than simply not fearing it, and is represented by a humanoid rather than an animal.

David's mindset is closer to the second than the first, but not quite there, so he gets a chimpanzee, the animal most similar to a human.

Name: Mary Winthrop

Appearance:


Age: 16

Year: 6th

House: Ravenclaw

Classes taken:
NEWTs Levels
Charms
Transfiguration
DADA
Runes
Potions

Short bio: Mary was born to a backwaters hick of a mother who believed God had punished her with Mary. Mary's father was unknown to Mary, and the source of Mary's abilities seen as the worst possibility of a deal between Satan and God. Mary's mother believed she was suffering as Job had, and to free herself of the curse she must cleanse Mary. The woman's definition of cleanse grew worse as Mary's abilities grew. These abilities were never quite under control though.

Somehow word got to Mary's father, Andrew Winthrop, about her situation. How word got to him was never something he told Mary, but late in the night he took the small 8 year old from her home and freed her. It took Mary sometime before she realized she had side-along apparated.

The next few years Mary and her father learned from each other. Mary on how to trust people again, Andrew on how the simplest thing can bring joy. Mary was grossly undereducated so Andrew lost no time in catching the girl up in general education. When the letter for Hogwarts came he beamed.

Personality: Mary is a quite girl, though very curious. One would not expect her to know the things that she knows. Unless they saw her library research history. She is not quick to trust people. It is very unlikely that anyone knows her full history. She does not talk about her mother. Due to her undereducated early in her life Mary feels like she is always trying to catch up. Her wit can be particularly scathing at times.

Wand: 8 9/10 in, stiff, Fir, Unicorn hair

Patronus: Dove

Hobbies: Reading. She never got into quidditch really. Ice skating (She loves winter near the lake and always checks to make sure the ice is thick enough and has been known to spell it to be safer). A small love for movies.

Pets: A grey cat named Perry. Perry walks funny as when he was only a few months old he fell from a stair case and broke his back, even with magical help it did not heal properly.

Personal possessions: Standard things for school at Hogwarts, and a few extra books, some muggle, most adventure novels.

Relationships: TBA

NPCs: Emma Tate, A muggle born Ravencalw same year as Mary. Emma started their friendship in their first year by discussing horror movies.

If I remember correctly, you were worried that your character wouldn't get along with a slytherin. She seems fine, though :). Well, until David starts ranting about how we could create Horcruxes in safe ways or maintain cold fusion with fiendfyre, ayway :))

That's because she's been edited quite a bit from the original. She is still mixed-blood, so depending on racism (which I don't care how much JK says has been eradicated there will still be some.)

Well, David's best friend is a Ravenclaw muggleborn. He really judges people more on their intelligence and creativity rather than anything else. A rationalist of sorts.

So... he is biased against the sort of person that would end up in Gryffindor, but not against muggleborns. Hell, he isn't even entirely human, those elfy ears of his are bound to get some pokes down in Slytherin ^^.

Then them having at least a general friendship is likely. Mary doesn't judge people unless they are jerks to her or Emma. She doesn't handle bullying well tbh.

Name: Damian 'Ian' Jackdaw

Appearance:

Age: 17

Year: Sixth

Classes:
Transfiguration
Potions
Charms
Defense Against the Dark Arts
Alchemy
Herbology
Astronomy

House: Gryffindor

Short bio: Damian was born in America, a half-blooded boy raised in a bad neighborhood, somewhere between the borders of Texas and Arkansas. His father was a magical wizard - a former Auror, to be more specific, while his mother was a simple muggle housewife. Life growing up wasn't easy. He was often picked on at school, for no reason other than the fact that the bullies were idiots, and quickly learned to fight with his fists, feet, head, elbows, knees...practically everything. Magic didn't really interest him, but when he tried, he got his first spell done correctly, marking him as a naturally talented wizard - much to his stoicness, and his father's happiness.

However, Damian was busy with MMA and Boxing lessons - even at a young age, he was taught beginner stuff, but, at the age of ten, something happened...even he couldn't help. His father was gone on some Britian wizarding business, and an infamous gang in their neighborhood crashed the party. Long story short, unthinkable things were done to his mother while he was on the floor, half-knocked out and bleeding from fractures and broken bones...in the end, his mother was killed.

It was abrupt, insane, and brutal...but it happened. This marked the start. When his dad came, Damian was sent to Britain - as an American Exchange Student, to go to Hogwarts. Apparently, that's why his dad left. His dad became distant after that, and they never really talked much. Damian continued to take MMA and boxing lessons, and practiced magic so that, when his fists couldn't do the talking, curses could. He promised that he would never let anything like that happen to anyone close to him again.

Personality: Damian can come off as a rough, unfeeling boy, having suffered quite a bit of sad events in his life, early on. This gives him a tough outer-shell. He's independent, not easily making emotional connections, but this has also made him focused, brave, and determined - while also being protective of the friends he has. It's rather easy for him to get annoyed, but rather than throwing a hissy fit, he tends to either act violent, or put the anger into training. This makes him rather ambitious, which is why, combined with his quick-thinking and reflexes, makes him ingenious in stressful situations.

It's easy for others to get intimidated by the American, especially due to his calloused demeanor and blunt ways of getting things straight, and he will not take any crap from anyone. Despite all of his callousness, however, Damian is inwardly kind towards the 'nicer' people, and will help when he sees bad things happening to good or semi-good people. The kindness is gruff as if he's reluctant to show compassion. He can also be cheerful when either drunk, or happy about some success - successful pranks, for instance. Tends to smirk when things go his way, as well. Is rather quiet, all things considered, but absolutely has no trouble speaking up when he feels like it, although he tends to let his fists or wand do the talking when necessary. Actions speak louder than words.

Summary - Focused, determined, brave, quick-thinker, tough & calloused, ambitious. Maintains a cool, detached image. Oddly enough, he is very much like a lion...or a griffin.

Wand: Fir wood wand, Dragon Heartstring core, 12 1/2 inches.

Hobbies: Flying on his broom - Quidditch, to be more specific. He's incredibly good as a Seeker, and has been scouted by official wizarding teams ever since his third year. || Practicing the more practical magic arts, and perfecting them; Most are afraid to duel with the brusque American...his over-charged Reductos are very scary. || Exercising, something most wizards don't do. Magic is fine and all, but lifting weights and sprinting up hills tends to get the blood flowing.

Pets: A magical lion cub called 'Leo'. It has the physical appearance of a regular lion cub, but as it grows - which it does a bit faster than normal, it's size will become noticeably larger than any other muggle lions. It's hide will also be magic resistant as it grows.

Personal possessions: Other than the necessary thing, such as his necessary robes and school supplies, depending on the time of the RP, Damian has his personal riding broom, bought after quite a bit of hard work, and some funding from his parents, along with the sponsorship of a Wizarding Quidditch Team that wants to see him succeed; he has the Firebolt Supreme, hailed as the greatest racing broom in the 21st century. Hehas some less than legal items, easily disguised. For instance, the ring on his left and right hands will actually turn into brass-knuckles once a sliver of magic is siphoned into them. He also has a map, which was, once again, funded by a bunch of hard work and odd jobs; a map enchanted by some guy in France, which allows him to see the presence of anyone within a certain distance around him, along with their names.

He also has a few muggle-fied things; a motorcycle, tricked out with different runes and charms so that it could...yes, fly. [Think Sirius' motorcycle, just more modern in design.] A set of muggle clothing that he wears when not forced to wear robes, and boxing gloves, boxing tape, a weight set, and a heavy-duty punching bag that's charmed to never break or rip. He keeps the boxing equipment constantly in his shrunken trunk, unless he trains that day.

Patronus: Griffin

Relationships: Nicholas 'Nick' Gregory Hornhill - Despite their minor differences, with Damian being a bit more cold, focused, and ruthless than Nick, and Nick being a bit more wreckless, inquisitive, and persistent, they quickly became friends - with Nicholas really being one of the few people Damian talks to out of the Quidditch field. Damian's quick-thinking and ferocious presence has gotten them out of quite a few bad situations, and Nicholas is the one to make them go through the bad situations, with his love for pranks and the such - which, although he wouldn't admit it, has rubbed off on Damian as well. People have learned not to bully or otherwise mess with Nicholas due to the threat of Damian finding out - not to say that many people bothered Nick in the first place.. [Others are open!]

NPCs: His dad.

Name: Genevieve Braveheart

Appearance:

Age: 16

Year: 6th

House: Gryffindor

Classes taken:
NEWT Levels
  • Charms
  • Defense Against The Dark Arts
  • Transfiguration
  • Potions
  • Runes


Short bio: Genevieve grew up in mostly Manchester, England with her two magical parents. She is a pureblood witch, but she never really wanted to be. She hated how she was different from everyone. Everyone seemed to be repelled by her when she was younger, as if her magical was driving them away, even if they didn’t know about it. She was bullied a lot for being weird and she always tended to come home crying her eyes out.

That all changed when her mother got cancer. They tried everything to save her, even spells and potions, but nothing seemed to beat it. With her last dying breath, her mother told Genevieve that if Genevieve wanted a normal life so badly, then this would be what she had to go through every day. Genevieve hated that, but she did not hate her mother for telling her. With that, she embraced her magic and her weird side. She stood up to the bullies at school and she was brave and when she turned eleven she got her letter to go to Hogwarts.

Once she got to Hogwarts, she immediately felt better about who she was and she felt confident in herself again. She was sorted into Gryffindor because the Sorting Hat saw in her mind what all that she has gone through and how her personality is now in spite of that. She plays Quidditch for her mother because her mother was an amazing Chaser and she always wanted to be like the woman who told her to embrace her weirdness.

Personality: Though she is very brave, loyal, and trusting, Genevieve is not the most outgoing person in the world. She tends to sit in her room and read rather than mess around outdoors. She does love to play Quidditch and is an amazing Chaser, just like her mother was. She is always warm and open to meeting new people, but she doesn’t really like large crowds. She doesn’t talk to very many people, but once a person is introduced to her, she is warmer toward them. She always stands up for what she believes is right, even if that means going against some rules, and she will always remain a loyal friend to whoever wants to be her friend. She takes blows as they come and always tries to overcome them with the best her of ability.

Wand: Cedar, Phoenix Feather, 12 ½ inches

Patronus: Golden Retriever (so a Dog…)

Hobbies: She is a Chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team and loves to write and read. She also loves to dance, but she tends to dance whenever she thinks that she is alone. Besides those things, she just tends to go with the flow for whatever anyone wants to do.

Pets: An almost pure white snowy owl named Geric

Personal possessions: Her Firebolt 2000, which she got from her mother. It is three generations under the Firebolt Supreme, but it is still almost as fast as the Supreme, though it has a little less maneuverability. She has a locket from her mother which has a picture of her mother and her father in one side and her on the other side. Besides that, she has everything that she has bought.

Relationships: None.

NPCs: Geric, but I don’t think that really counts… xD

Why am I amazing? Because I love to write more than anything in the world. 
